Just want to say estimates for both no kings and hands off were much higher.
No kings estimated at 13 million and hands off at over 10 million. The estimated amounts on Wikipedia are way under imo.
We’re at that point and yet has Trump been impeached for denying due process and trying to create a process with ice to deport people without a trial to a foreign prison for life? Or for blatantly ignoring orders from federal courts and the Supreme Court?
Until Trump is in prison or tried for his crimes this article doesn’t sway my opinion at all. Fact is too many loopholes exist in the rule of law in the usa. Only way to fix it is creating a new government with a new constitution. The executive branch as it is has way too much power consolidated. The current form of government cant go on as it is. Especially because of how much money and bribery is now involved.
I dont see this being resolved peacefully. Fascists never go peacefully. NEVER
Soon as people sign up for the general strike which is part of the protests. Will you stand with us?
Spineless traitor. She has a crucial vote and ability to impeach trump and says this shit. Lady if you dont grow a spine you’re gonna burn either way.
You don’t know how to math. 77 million voted for Trump sure but plenty didn’t. Yes non voters suck but they aren’t 263 million.
Your comment is false and really doesn’t help. At all.
Unfortunately the only way to arrest a president is the impeachment process. Which wont happen with a republican super majority. Unless you can get Republicans to grow a spine there is no other legal process to hold the President accountable.
However I’m not sure about those employed by in his administration. But then again if he’s willing to pardon Jan 6th rioters he will definitely pardon people in his administration…
Absolutely. Make them show outright that they are using authoritarian tactics. Make it known to all that they’re fascists and that they don’t care about democratic principles or the rule of law.
Make every Trump voters uncomfortable and understand they voted to end this democratic republic.
Trump did not get elected in 2020…he was elected 2016. Biden was elected 2020.
Have to correct because the craziest think he did win 2020.

No, there won’t be one. Can only hope some generals of us armed forces decide to try a coup or start a civil war.

Have you ever heard the saying
"“I’ve never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure.”
Happy to have read about this one :)
Hitler didn’t become dictator by playing by the rules. Why do you think Trump will?
Hitler burned down the German Congress. Trump will do something similar if he can.
Basically our only hope is if the CIA, FBI, secret service, and us armed forces refuse his orders. Step 1 will be putting his cronies in positions of power and firing anyone who stands up to him.
Our only hope is that they refuse the firing and take over their respective office, that employees are loyal to them and not Trump. Specifically this is most important in the us armed forces among the generals. But then our best case scenario is a civil war.
Civil war or dictatorship is on the horizon and there is no stopping it.
Wake up, grab your brush and put a little makeup
Only for 1 person. For a family of 4+ it’s 2.5k
Keep in mind that even in a place like texas, in major cities liberal voters far outnumber conservatives. There are millions of us voting hoping that one day the people that don’t will finally register and give the state the changes it desperately needs.
It may look like we’re outnumbered. But the biggest problem we have by far nationwide is the amount of people that don’t vote. Conservatives are honestly outnumbered everywhere except in states like north and south Dakota that have a ton of land and low population.
Yep there’s 2 sides to this. Which is why I think civil war is inevitable. There will be 2 factions, Trump loyalists and American loyalists.
At some point Trump wants the military to be completely subservient to him. This is needed so he can abolish Congress and create a new office for himself as dictator. He knows if he just leaves office after 4 years the court cases will resume and he will end up in prison. He will do anything to stay out of prison.
We can only hope the generals won’t be loyal to him and when Trump fires the generals that their respective armed forces remain loyal to their general during the Civil War and not to Trump.
This is exactly what China and Russia wanted all along, to destabilize the usa. With us out of the way China will expand in the Phillipines and Taiwan while Russia expands its European offensive. I expect India to take advantage as well.
You’ve never met an apple fan boy? Do you live under a rock?
Ffs I see people put apple logos on their cars.
If not for gerrymandering and id laws for registering to vote Texas would probably be majority Democrat.
